It’s tough - but it’s also completely doable. Here are the common sticking points when you’re starting out and strategies for blowing past them and finding success. Starting out in conservation photography can feel a little bit like a marathon race…through a forest… with fallen logs across your path… and branches thwapping your face…and really cold creeks to wade across that have those slippery algea-covered ankle-twisting cobblestones at the bottom… and then there's the bogs…And it's all so much fun! Even the difficult bits. Because getting to the other side of those difficult bits is exhilarating. But it's helpful if you have some strategies in place for when you do hit those obstacles, so you don't get too frustrated, or worse, stop all forward progress. Even the most prepared of us still appreciate a few insider tips so that those problem areas can be navigated through or avoided altogether. So today we’re going to tackle five common hurdles when starting out on this crazy and entertaining run, and strategies for leaping them. 1️⃣ ?  Get the full show notes + downloadable transcript + links to resources mentioned  at JaymiH.com/22️⃣ ?
